Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

As I started to write this I realized that by tomorrow it will most likely be totally irrevelant. Oh well. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Me and Zach went up there to stretch our legs a bit this morning. No intentions of going to the summit due to time constraints. There is snow at the trailhead. It wasn't too tramped down or icy so I never bothered with the YakTrax. At the first gully there were some foot prints going up the winter route but there's still a lot of brush sticking out and I wasn't in the mood for it so we wandered around the summer trail for awhile. No one else had been there lately so Zach was doing a great job of breaking trail. Actually the snow was really light, about 6-8 inches deep so snowshoes weren't needed either. We stopped for some hot cocoa and biscuits just as the sun decided to shine. The temperature in the woods had been about 20 degrees and out in the sun it was 40....nice! As we turned back the wind was really picking up and I could see to the west it was getting really dark....ooooh, here comes the storm! As I said before, I think all this will change by tomorrow!
